SECON only has three months of developement time at the beginning of next semester. All active members are highly encouraged to get involved in the design and completion of this project.

Charger Trainer is slated to begin in Februrary. The netbooks will be used as a common platform for students to follow along with IEEE members in an interactive introduction to microcontroller programming.

The club consitution will be posted on google docs for the officers to edit. After the editing is finished it will be presented to the club to be ratified.

Officers were given to-do list by John. Any officers not present should meet with John to see if he has one for you. Also, the constitution will be posted on google docs sometime in the near future for the officers to begin re-writing it.

The netbooks for Charger Trainer are now in the club’s possession. Dr. Linquist presented the netbooks as a gift for our continued participation in SECON and Engineering Open House. Being that these netbooks were donated at great expense their care will be of the utmost importance. The netbooks will ONLY be used for club projects and Charger Trainer.

All members are urged to take better care of equipment in the lab.

John proposed that the club purchase a new projector. Due to the bulb prices the decision for this purchase is being postponed until the next meeting.

There has been a slight delay in obtaining charger trainer netbooks due to purchasing conflicts. As of now the purchase is still intended but the status of charger trainer will be posted on a later date.

SECON is formally cancelled tomorrow in preparations for the halloween party.

The Halloween Party is this Friday at 6pm. Gaming is permitted all day and the lab, this includes consoles. Feel free to bring candy, drinks, and snacks.

There are two upcoming open house events for the engineering department scheduled for October 20th and November 10th. IEEE members are encourage to prepare projects to present to prospective students.

Attendance to Dr. Smith’s presentation is suggested to all members. The International Freescale Cup Robotics Competition presents an exciting opportunity for IEEE members to compete against other international teams in China.
